awesome looking bike, not a fan of the crank arms though, and I'm kind of over the paul chain ring, but still a beautiful bike none the less.

Is that a Paul ring? Ive seen it on a couple other ANT bikes and it is usually mounted to one piece cranks. Also the cranks on that bike appear to be Profile SS BMX cranks, which are pretty sweet, just not on a road bike. I am really interested in what tires those are.

That's the precursor to Paul cranks. They're just retro bech cruiser style cranks.
At least that's the style...

who makes those track ends?
I've seen them on other bikes--sometimes they are the best looking thing on those bikes.

Thats from Nov 05 right.. so you'd think the copper coating would be nice and green by now..
I like it, with that ridiculous blingy gold hubset it's "old-tymey meets lowrider".
Nice bike, but I don't understand that type of handlebar. Looks uncomfortable.

Super dope
Me neither but lots of people like 'em. Different strokes for different folks.
Generally, I don't really like the blingy bikes, but this one has a lot of character. Nice.

Mike Flanigan, wow dude.
what is that front hub? it has cutouts, cant be a phil then can it? the flanges look humongous, like a drum brake or something. and there's definitely something on the inside of the fork right by the hub, on the non-drive side.

That bike is so sick that it's got tiny malignant tumors on its few remaining T-cells.
the problem with bikes that are planned and themed such as this one is that it only takes a tiny detail here or there to be off to ruin it
mismatched gold (copper) is one
using that chainring on any bike is another
looks like a drum brake or dyno up front

Love the frame, despise the white tires. Front hub is just strange.
No matter how many times I see that bike, it still makes me want to masterbate furiously. I'm not even mad someone brought up a two-year-old-much-previously-discussed-bike. Its that beautiful.
This is a roller brake hub, most likely sram, posssibly sachs - the thing on the NDS fork arm is a reaction lever, so it can actually brake.
